A catch all thread...
Downey is refusing to do any more movies.
The stipulation being that he won't do any more movies unless Marvel starts paying his co-stars appropriately.
Kudos to him for making this stand, and I agree.
Marvel is cheap as hell, and apparently that's a reflection of the guy who runs the studio. Apparently, he's a cheap fuck.
This is an area where Disney needs to step in and tell Marvel, "Listen, you guys make the movies, and let us deal with the contracts."
The Avengers made over a BILLION dollars, and you're stiffing the talent involved? That's beyond stupid.
How do short sighted assholes like this get into the positions they're in? There's a got to be a lot of spent cocks on the way to the Marvel studios president's office...

We talking the founder, Avi Arad, or the prez of production, Kevin Feige?
QUOTE In fact, the studio has already threatened to replace Hemsworth. Avengers 2: starring Triple H as Thor.
QUOTE But Marvel doesn't want to replace Downey at this point and it seems that the actor is using that leverage to fight for his co-stars by threatening not to return for "Iron Man 4" and possibly any other Marvel film unless they all get appropriate pay raises. Shelf the script, tell everyone to fuck off, reboot in 5-10 years with a new cast. Like there aren't enough superheroes to make movies with.

QUOTE he guy who runs a movie studio? Nah...probably not.
Thib's on fire.
QUOTE Kevin Feige
That's the guy I hear is the problem.

Nah, strike while the iron is hot. Pay your actors.
You could easily pay all the leads $10 million each and still make over a BILLION dollars for yourself on Avengers 2.

The rights to Taskmaster are back with Marvel.
He's a pretty cool character and walks the line between hero and villain, but mostly mercs for villains.
